Squonk

Here are a few photos from the premiere of 'Joy Machine' last weekend at the Three Rivers Arts Festival. We had such a blast! It really couldn't have gone better. Many thanks to The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust for commissioning and presenting our show and to the wonderful people of Pittsburgh for supporting us all of these years.

And thanks to our photographers: Murphy Moschetta, Erin Ninehouser, and David S. Rubin. We will be sharing more of their incredible images soon.

We did it! We premiered our show, ‘Joy Machine’, at the Three Rivers Arts Festival this past weekend and it couldn’t have gone better. Many thanks to the musicians, performing techs, builders, painters, and everyone else who came with us on this journey. We couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you! ☺️

Thanks for coming out last night, Pittsburgh. What a fun time we had!
Happy Saturday! The weather today is causing us some concern. Storms will be moving through our region today and we might need to cancel a show. We think we will be able to do the scheduled 1:00 show. We are adding a 3:00 show in case the scheduled 5:00 show gets rained out. We’re just playing this by ear. We will update you if any changes happen due to the weather. Hope to see you. 😊
